Winry had been both, nervous and excited the entire week. She actually didn't know how she should feel about the fact that she and Ed would have a date on friday. She didn't know Ed for long and didn't know if she could really be comfortable with him alone on a date. She had been alone with him a couple of times already but a date is different.

Of course, she had told Mei and Riza about this thing, making them even more excited than Winrys herself. When friday rolled around, the two of them went home with Winry after school to prepare her for her date.

"What are you gonna wear?" Mei asked her and opened her closet.

"Um- I don't know.. I think I'll just-" Winry began while laying on her bed.

"Where are you two even going?" Riza interrupted.

"We can't decide what you should wear when we don't know where you're going to." She explained.

"We're going nowhere. Just staying here." she said calmly.

"Are you serious?" Mei asked, sounding a little shocked.

"Yeah?"

"You never stay at home on a first date!" Mei exclaimed.

"Why not?" Winry asked confused.

"Well, I don't think it's that bad." Riza said. "You shouldn't do it with people you hardly know, but Ed's different."

"He was already here once." Winry said.

"Exactly." Riza agreed.

"But.. what are you gonna do? Wouldn't it be better for you to just.. go to the cinema or.. to a restaurant or something..?" Mei suggested.

"I don't think the cinema is the best place to get to know someone. You're hardly speaking to the person and.. I don't think Ed's the type of person you can go to a restaurant with on a date. I also wouldn't really like it.." Winry said. "Don't you think it's better to just stay home and watch something, talk, order something to eat and just be alone together for a while..?" Winry said.

"Wow." Riza chuckled a little. "You really fit Edward" she laughed. Mei started to grin.

"Alright, I see your point." Mei said. "But still, what are you gonna wear?"

"Well, I'm not gonna dress as if I'm going on a big party or something when I'm really just staying at home. I planned on wearing something.. comfy.." Winry said.

"Like what? You're not gonna wear sweatpants on a date, Win!" Mei said. Riza started to laugh. Winry sighed.

"Then what about leggins and a sweatshirt..?" Winry said. Mei was about to complain again, but Riza interrupted.

"You know what, I think Ed would find you really cute in an oversized Sweater." she said and turned around to search for a sweater in Winrys closet.

"Also.. I bet he'll come in sweatpants too. Afterall, this is Edward we're talking about here.." Riza said. Then she turned to Mei and grinned.

"Imagine them sitting in front of the TV in the dark and cuddling!" Riza said.

"AAAAAW!" Mei exclaimed. Winry turned a deep red. "We're not..-!" but she got interrupted by Mei, who now quickly got off of the bed and ran up to Riza.

"Alright, she needs the cutest cuddle-outfit we can find!" Mei said.

"Guys~!" They didn't hear her anymore.

"How was it?"

"Did something happen between you two?"

"Did you make a move on him?"

"Did you try to kiss her or something?"

"Tell us everything!"

Both, Ed and Winry, let go an exhausted sigh.

HE was sitting on his bed, trying to ignore his a little too curious younger brother and his best friend, who interupted his peaceful saturday morning sleep.

SHE was sitting in her room, waken up by a constatly ringing phone what she now regretted ever answering..

"H-Hello?" she started, sounding really tired.

"Hey Win!" Mei cheered on the other side of the phone.

"W-What.. What time is it..?" Winry asked.

"It's noon, Win. Don't tell me you had been sleeping till now?!" Mei said.

"I guess Ed and her have had a lot of fun yesterday evening.." Winry heard someone suggestively say.

"Is this Riza..?" Winry asked, sounding a little annoyed now. Mei just ignored her question.

"Alright, Win. You have to tell us everything about yesterday!"

"Mei.. I've just woke up.. and I kinda don't wanna do this over the phone.." she said tired.

"No Problem, Win! We're already there." Mei said happily.

"What do you mean? Where...-?"

And then the doorbell rang.

Ed rolled his eyes again.

"Could you two please get out of my room?" he said annoyed, throwing his blanket over his head again.

"Brotheer! Pleeease, can't you just tell me some little details about yesterday?"

Ed sighed. "It's.. been really nice." he said.

"Just nice..?" Mei asked. She had this suggestive expression on her face.

"Yeah.. I mean, I liked it." Winry said. She hoped she wasn't blushing.

"Was it awkward?" Riza asked her.

"No.. actually not at all."

"What did you do?" Mei asked. Riza and her where lying on their bellys on Winrys bed while Winry was sitting in front of them, her arms wrapped around a pillow.

"We just watched some movies and ate pizza." Ed said. He now removed his blanket and stood up, revealing his bare chest. Then he walked over to his closet.

"Did you.. make a move?" Roy asked him, grinning a little. Ed didn't asnwer him. Instead he was just searching for something to wear.

"Man, don't tell me you got rejected!" Roy exclaimed, sounding a little worried, but also a little amused.

"Don't be ridiculous." Ed said, turning to Roy. Then he turned back to his closet again.

"I didn't even make any move on her."

"HE DIDN'T?!" Mei and Riza just screamed in disbelief. Winry just shook her head.

"You didn't?!" Al and Roy sounded just like Mei and Riza. Ed also just shook his head.

"Not even a little tiny move?" Riza wanted to be sure.

"I.. I don't know.. At least.. It didn't seem like it..." Winry slowling began.

"Oh Winry! Maybe you really just didn't notice it!" Mei said.

"But then he wasn't trying hard enough!" Riza said.

"Guys! It's not like he was the only one being able to hit on me." Winry said.

"You didn't do anything too?!" Both of them exclaimed again.

Ed shook his head. "Nope, she didn't do anything either."

"Man, i don't know.. but you're the guy, you know? You're actually supposed to make the first step.." Roy said.

"Why didn't you do anything?" Al asked him worried. He really wanted Ed to be with Winry. Ed could tell Al really liked Winry.

"Well what was I supposed to do?! Just start making out with her?" He was really annoyed now and began tossing the shirt he just took out back into the closet.

"It's been our first date. I didn't even want him to start anything.." Winry calmly said.

"Are you sure..?" Mei asked.

"Yeah.. It was still really fun." she smiled at the two of them.

"We were watching this science-fiction movie.." she started. ".. and Ed's a real genious when it comes to science. He was correcting everything in the movie and always gave some little remarks, which always made me laugh because he pointed out things that I would've never noticed!" It seemed as if her eyes had started sparkling out of joy.

"Then we watched a horror movie.. and man, you don't even have to try to comfort her, because she fucking loves horror." he laughed. Then he paused a little before he spoke again. "I feel like.. I know her a lot better now."

"Seemes like it's still been a really fun evening, brother." Al said happily.

Ed smiled at him.

"Even though you didn't even make one tiny little move on her." Roy said, rolling his eyes, trying to fake his annoyence about Ed. Then he grinned at him again.

"Y-Yeah.." Ed stuttered a little now.

Al and Roy both suddenly glanced at him.

"Or..?"

Ed looked down.

"Or did you..?"

Now he started rubbing the back of his head nervously.

"Ed?"

"ED?!"

"You know.. there was this short moment.." Winry said. She turned really red immediatly and hid half of her face in her pillow.

"ARE YOU JOKING?!" Riza shouted.

"WHAT HAPPENED?!"

"Well.. we were sitting really close to each other through out this whole evening.."

Mei and Riza were so exited, they couldn't even stop making really high fangirl noises.

"And.. behind Winry's couch there is this large window and it stood open. At some point it got really cold and she started freezing. So I wanted to shut it and leaned over to close it. I was.. really close to her face. I mean, I didn't do it on purpose! She could have moved a little bit, but instead.. she was kinda just.. looking straight into my eyes." Ed explained.

"I just looked at him, straight into his eyes, till he noticed it and also looked at me."

"Oh my god Winry." Mei was squeezing Rizas hand really tight.

"We just looked at each other for a few seconds and our faces were just inches apart.." Winry said. "And then he leaned in.." Then she paused.

"And then.." she paused again.

"Then what..!" she was turning really red.

"Winry!"

...

"She turned away and took a large bite of pizza." Ed said easily.

In both, Ed and Winry's room, there was now complete silence.

Winry was now covering her complete face with her pillow. Nothing. Mei and Riza were just looking at her for a few seconds, then they looked at each other in complete disbelief..

"Mei, hold me back. I'm about to fuckin punch her."

"Riza!" Mei exclaimed, holding Riza by her shoulder.

"I'm sorry, alright!" Winry started. "But I just.. I was so nervous! I just.. couldn't.." she said slowly. Riza and Mei said nothing for a while, until Mei started again.

"And how did he react..?" she asked. Winry started smiling now.

"At first he was really surprised. But then.. I feel like he .. read my mind." She laughed. "He knew that I was really fucking nervous. So then he just started laughing."

"He laughed?"

"Yeah.. but not in a.. god-youre-so-ridiculous kinda way.. more like a.. you're-so-cute-when-you're-nervous kinda way.." Winry said, laughing with a completely red head.

Riza and Mei also started laughing.

"Yeah, we know Ed for a pretty long time now. We know exactly what you mean." they grinned.

Winry smiled at them. "I'm just really relieved that.. he wasn't mad at me or something like that.. Most guys would have definately felt offended.." she said.

"Also.. I really didn't wanna hurt him.."

"You don't feel bad about this?" Roy asked him. He actually sounded worried.

"No, not really. I mean, it would have been.. Eh.." he paused and started blushing really heavily. He really didn't wanna talk about this with Al and Roy.. "You know.. it would've been cool to kiss her.." Nice wording, Ed he ironically thought to himself.

"but,.. I guess she was just really nervous."

"How'd you know?" Al asked.

"I don't know, I just.." Ed was searching for a valid explanation, but he didn't seem to find one.

"I.. I have no idea, Al." he just laughed.

"You're fucked up, man." Roy said laughing and then finally stood up from his chair.

"Yeah, I guess.." Ed said. "Now, can you two get the fuck out of my room? I'd like to get dressed, and if possible, not in front of you two." Ed said. He sounded annoyed again.

"Jeez Ed, we're already gone." Roy said, grinning at him again. When the door closed, Ed let out an exhausted sigh and then lay down on his bed again. Now all he could think about was the moment he just had been talking about. This short moment before Winry pulled out, when they both just looked at each other, thinking the same thing. He would have loved to kiss her. But for now, all he has is the memory of this short little moment and the rest is up to his imagination. He just couldn't help but smile.
